How the survey changes by roof type

Wind can peel back flashings at abutments and stacks. We record which are loose or damaged.
Flat roof coverings
Edge trims and laps are frequently where flat roof coverings start to peel back. We check whether the damage is recent or older.
How a storm damage roof report works in Pains-Hill
If your roof has been damaged, stay safe first. Take photos from the ground or from windows, and don’t climb onto the roof. Emergency temporary protection, like covering an opening, is a job for a roofer. Our report records the damage so you have an independent record to give your insurer. Keep receipts for any emergency work. We survey flashings, chimney stacks and flat roofs, and common reasons people get in touch are water coming in after the storm and roofs hit by falling trees.
Being in a small place like Pains-Hill makes no difference to how a leak or storm damage is looked at: the journey and access are just planned beforehand. Let us know where the water shows, when it appears and anything you’ve noticed outside, along with any repairs done before. If you have photographs of the water coming in, they help as well.
The report records the roof as we found it on the day. That makes it useful now and a handy reference later, for example when you want to check whether anything has changed.

Pains-Hill questions
Is my home in Pains-Hill listed or in a conservation area?
Your council is the best source, with Historic England’s list for listed buildings. Both listing and conservation areas can limit changes of roofing material.

Yes. We cover the whole of London and South East England, and Pains-Hill is part of that. You can call 07833 053749 or send us an email with the address and some details, and we will talk through which survey suits.
Does your report mean my claim will be accepted?
Only your insurer can decide that. We record the damage, with photographs and the likely cause, which you can pass to your insurer.
Do you act for me with my insurer?
No. We are not loss adjusters, and we don’t negotiate claims. We give you an independent report of the damage, which you can pass to your insurer.
Do you survey roofs on blocks of flats?
Yes. A shared roof needs access agreed first. Tell us about it as you book and we’ll explain what’s needed.
What do I do if water is coming in?
Emergency temporary protection is a job for a roofer. If it’s safe, take photos before it goes on. Our report then records the roof.

What we do, step by step
Time on site depends on the size and shape of the roof, but as a rough guide the survey takes roughly 1–2 hours at a house, and longer if the damage is spread across a large roof. You are welcome to ask questions while we are there. Cottages and farmhouses around Pains-Hill often have roofs at several levels, with lean-tos and outbuildings attached. Each part is looked at from wherever it can safely be seen.
- First you give us the date of the storm and what you’ve noticed, inside and out.
- We inspect the roof from safe viewpoints and from the loft where there’s access.
- The damage is recorded with photos, area by area.
- We note the likely cause, including any signs of wear that were there before the storm.
- We send you a written report with photos, ready to give to your insurer.

Can I check my roof myself?
If you have a loft with safe access, take a look inside. Use a torch and stay on the joists or boards, and look for staining, damp timber or daylight coming through.
After heavy rain, check ceilings and the tops of walls for new stains. Take a photo and write down when you saw it.
Leave it or get it looked at?
Damage left open lets in more rain. That can add to the damage and make it harder to separate from the storm. A roofer should deal with emergency protection quickly. For older village homes like those around Pains-Hill, the right replacement materials aren’t always easy to find quickly. That is one more reason to find defects before they become urgent.
